Common mistakes of enchilada pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many speakers incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "en-chi-'la-da". The correct stress is on the third syllable: /ˌɛn.tʃɪˈlɑː.də/ (US) and /ˌɛn.tʃɪˈlɑː.də/ (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing "la" when pronouncing "enchilada".
- Vowel confusion: Some people pronounce the "i" in "enchilada" as a long "ee" sound, leading to "en-chee-'la-da". The correct pronunciation has a short "i": /ˌɛn.tʃɪˈlɑː.də/. Tip: Practice saying "it" to get the right vowel sound.
- Dropping syllables: A common mistake is omitting the last syllable, resulting in "en-chi-'la". The full pronunciation includes all syllables: /ˌɛn.tʃɪˈlɑː.də/. Tip: Slow down your speech to ensure you articulate each part of "enchilada".
- Incorrect "ch" sound: Some may pronounce the "ch" as in "church", leading to "en-chur-'la-da". The "ch" should be softer, as in "chill": /ˌɛn.tʃɪˈlɑː.də/. Tip: Think of "cheese" when saying the "ch" in "enchilada".
- Mispronouncing the final "a": It's common to say "enchilad" without the final "a", making it sound incomplete. The correct ending is important: /ˌɛn.tʃɪˈlɑː.də/. Tip: Always finish with a clear "da" in "enchilada" to maintain the word's integrity.
